I gather the designer in charge of Gaultier here -- Glenn Martens of Y/Project, who also apparently just took over Diesel -- is only doing it for one season, and [*Vogue* had a lot to say about that](https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2022-couture/jean-paul-gaultier?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) in a way that I thought cast some subtle shade on other designers who've taken over legendary houses:

> *"It is not C as in collaboration (a word which is looking increasingly passé) but C as in conversation, a constant state of respectfully going back and forth between incoming designer and the heritage of the house. \[...\] Signing Martens up to take on the mantle of designer for one season was a canny and prescient move, given that his star is now firmly in the ascendant. He’s highly unlikely to care too much about any kind of exaltation of himself — he’s refreshingly immune to industry B.S. for one thing, and for another, he’s an avowed team player."*

That line about "exaltation of himself" raised my eyebrow. It speaks to my feelings about what's happening at Burberry, for example. I almost ran that Y/Project collection when it happened during Menswear week; maybe I'll put it up one weekend for comparison's sake. People seemed excited about it.
